Does It Hurt to Care? Caregiving, Work-Family Conflict, and Midlife Well-Being
Abstract
This study examined the effects of caregiving for disabled children, spouses, parents, and other kin and nonkin on multiple dimensions of negative and positive psychological well-being and development using data from a population sample of N=5,782 employed Wisconsin Longitudinal Study middle-aged women and men respondents in 1992-93. A life-course role-identity theoretical framework was employed to hypothesize that the contemporary social ecology of caregiving leads to conflicting demands across the roles of employee and caregiver, and that this conflict is an important factor in accounting for the negative well-being effects of caregiving. Multivariate regression analyses confirmed this hypothesis, and further revealed that if work and family conflict differences between caregivers and noncaregivers were eliminated, the caregiving role would also in more instances lead to positive well-being benefits.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
